oreo+pandora+bluetooth+kenwood

[JoBudden]

So I have a note 8, before updating to oreo I could connect pandora on my Kenwood head unit via Bluetooth with no problem.

Since updating to oreo it doesn't seem like the head unit is even trying to connect to the phone/app I just get a disconnected message on the head unit.

I have reset the phone, reinstalled the app, repaired the radio and the phone. The only way it seems to work is if I go into advanced and uncheck the autoplay then recheck it in the app on the phone. It will work until I turn off the car then I have to do it all over again.

Has anyone else experienced this and has another fix for it?

Uninstall the Kenwood from the phone. Uninstall the phone from the Kenwood. Start from scratch. (That was the only way my 330U would work.)

If that still doesn't work, see if there's an update for the Kenwood.

(Another trick I've pulled is to connect the phone via USB, with each removed from the other, then switch over to Bluetooth with the cable still connected. It was a lot of work, and I.m really not sure any more which one finally worked.)
